Lyrics Over & Out - Assemblage 23

Over & Out

A proud, indignant
Idiocy
You think it’s funny
I disagree
Stupification
Beyond a doubt
It’s doing us in Over and out
Nature or nurture
Dichotomy
It doesn’t matter
What you believe
The world’s devolving
A mental drought
Run for the exit
Over and out
Dull, listless eyes stare ever blankly
Nothing behind them ever stirs
The world outside is burning coldly
We never noticed it at all
Recursive copies
Each one degrades
We bleed together
The image fades
Ready reduction
To bring about
Our own destruction
Over and out
A barren future
A damaged road
That leads to nowhere
An error code
Like squinting primates
With furrowed brows
We made our own end
Over and out
Dull, listless eyes stare ever blankly
Nothing behind them ever stirs
The world outside is burning coldly
We never noticed it at all
